mareyeka Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Oscar has been on the Rimadyl for a week now and there is a tremendous improvement. He's almost back to his old self although he still can't handle walks. What I have noticed though, and this is significant I think, is that since he has been on the Rimadyl, he has not vomitted, retched, gagged or horked once, when he did on a regular basis before. Interesting.

Hollis Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Is it possible that the back pain might have made him vomit, retch, gag or hork? I know that if my back/feet/whatever is bothering me enough, it can upset my stomach. Just a thought... Regardless, I'm glad he's feeling better!

That's what I was thinking but then I feel even more guilty because he's been doing that horking and retching for quite a while now. Oh boy...
